thanks john

No it cannot be mapped and the sooner it\'s ditched the better.

damm heard theese were good :3Confused

They are if it were fitted to a nissan, that\'s what mines specialise in.
On a rx7 it makes them go like stink admittedly but I suspect they run way too much advance atleast for 98 octane fuel anyway as they blow rotary engines rather easily.

Hi John

At the very least I would get your car to a good tuner who can tell you what is going on with the boost levels and fueling before it kills your engine. Ultimately, I would look to replace it with a mapable (sp?) ecu like Brian said. Take it easy for now and put good fuel in it.

Regards
Jon

just bought a RE Amemiya ecu,i heard theese are fully mappable etc have i done the right thing?

No they are not. They are chipped ecu\'s like the Mines one is.
The re-amemiya ecu atleast is not as agressively ,mapped as the Mines one so should not be any near as dangerous, but is still not ideal. Also you would have to verify with re-amemiya you have the ocrrect ecu for your car as they do different types for different kind of mods etc.
You can send them an email quoting the serial number on the ecu and they will tell you what mods, boost afr it\'s been mapped for.

when i questioned the seller this was his reply,

Originally from Mach speed in Japan. Mapping was
exactly the same as RE Amemiya\'s Redom. I remapped it to fit my FD.
Sorry, I will end auction early because of bidding
price. thanks for your interest.

The mapping is for with cat. I used Knight sports
down pipe and RS-R exhaust. If you want to remove
cat, ECU needs to be remapped. I could do it for
you if you want. thank you for your interest.
originanal add was,

I am selling FD3S RX7(93\'~95\') JDM chipped ECU. This ECU works perfect with high performance intake and exhaust system. original program is from Japanese most famouse RE shop, but fine tuned to fit to my FD. Idle air screw adjustment may be necessary to compensate rpm droppage. Boost setting is primary turbine--approx. 7psi, secondary turbine--approx. 13psi. Horse power would be around 300 depends on your engine condition. The ecu was in working order when I took it out. If you are thinking to optimize your stock turbochargers, this ecu is the cheapest choise you can make.. This ecu is also reprogrammable.

cost me $5.50,he tried to take it off ebay but forgot about the 12 hour rule and is going to honour the sale :rollin

Still not cheap if it costs u a motor! If you are going to fit this at least get it checked with a wide band lambda meter. You still could be running dangerously advanced but you have no way of telling apart from stikcing in on the dyno and guessing. Scary stuff, sorry but you are asking for trouble...

carterjohn · February 28, 2006, 12:55:57 PM

i bought it so i can get it mapped on my car,not to just plug and play

20B_boy · February 28, 2006, 01:30:06 PM

Thats the point mate - unless u take the car to japan - you cant get it remapped

carterjohn · February 28, 2006, 03:31:54 PM

the ecu i bought off ebay,is fully mappable its coming from the usa and the seller even maps it himself.i have rang a few tuning companys who have told me they can map it no problem,best thing is the ecu only cost me Â£3.12p so i can splash out on a rolling road setup.

20B_boy · February 28, 2006, 06:55:26 PM

So what brand/model is the ecu? and who in the UK said they could/would map it?

ooh I dunno, this might be the holy grail of ECUs!

I\'m wondering who\'s said they can map it too
